The Blue Whisper
Episode 21
Flower Valley.
Sanyue.
You do care about me.
Cut the crap.
A beauty came to the rescue.
You're Xue Sanyue from Flower Valley?
So you're one of our own.
I heard after the Ten Directions Formation Incident,
Commander Xue had been taken away
by Master Qing.
Since you're here,
I guess I came to the right place.
May I ask where's Master Qing?
Who are you?
Why do you look for her?
I'm Kong Ming.
Under the order of Prince Chang Yi
and the Fox King Qingxuan,
I came to invite Master Qing
to go to the North Abyss and help us.
Chang Yi?
You mean that dorky fish?
He's in North Abyss.
Then what about Ji Yunhe?
It's a long story.
What an intense story.
It's just
I don't understand
what they're talking about.
Just listen.
Impossible.
Ji Yunhe is never the type to be unfaithful.
But it's what happened.
She lied to Chang Yi
and even wanted to kill him.
Why should I believe you?
If you dare to talk nonsense again,
I'll take your life.
Sanyue.
Calm down.
Master Qing likes to be quiet,
and hates to be disturbed,
especially by the spiritual masters.
He came empty-handed,
I believe someone will take his life.
I...
should have prepared something.
It won't work.
Master Qing loves wine.
If you could prepare some good wine,
and freeze it at Jiuhan Cave for one night,
she might consider doing you a favor.
But...
I don't think you can stay a night
in the chilly Jiuhan Cave.
You'd better go home early.
Thanks.
Why did you help him?
There may be a misunderstanding
between Yunhe and Chang Yi.
And he isn't evil.
I trust him.
Sanyue.
They're gone.
Sanyue, listen.
First, he has high spiritual power,
even among one of the best,
but is plainly dressed.
Second, he looks rough,
and I smelled herbs on him,
so I can infer he works with herbs all the time.
He must be the legendary Kong Ming
who betrayed Immortal Master's Mansion.
Besides,
everything he said about Chang Yi is true.
Say no more.
I'll get to the bottom
of what happened to Yunhe.
Sanyue.
Sanyue.
You just saved me.
Is it because you don't want me to leave?
I...
I just don't want people
to touch my stuff.
Your stuff?
Sanyue.
Are you willing to take me now?
Sanyue.
Prince.
- Alright, alright.
- It's getting late.
- We should go back.
- Forget about whose stuff it is.
All the stuff in Chongwu Mountain is yours.
Right, right, let's leave.
Go, go, go.
You don't understand.
She's my karma.
Karma?
If I don't conquer her,
I can't complete my cultivation,
The prosperity of our clan will be ruined,
and my reputation will be tainted.
It's not that I want to stay.
It's the mandate of heaven.
I have no choice but to stay here.
So Da Huan and Xiao Huan,
you guys go back first.
After I clear my karmic debt,
I'll return to Chongwu Mountain.
Da Huan, get him off me.
We're not leaving without you.
We'll help you to clear your karmic debt.
Right, right.
I can do it on my own.
I can do it.
Prince, don't treat us as outsiders.
Yes.
Xiao Huan, carry him away.
You're welcome.
Let's go.
No, no, no.
Go.
Wait, wait, wait.
Go, go, go.
Put me down.
Go.
Prince.
Perfect timing.
Young Lord Qingyao
specially prepared these dishes for you.
Try this one first.
Sweet potatoes in ginger syrup.
It can take the chill off you.
Sweet potatoes?
P-Prince, well,
it doesn't suit your taste?
If I want to take the chill off,
I could just practice more.
I don't need these things.
Tell Young Lord her good will is appreciated.
This is the medicine.
Bear with it for a while.
When the right time comes,
I'll find an excuse to let you out.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Now that you're here,
let's discuss a few more things.
Go ahead.
Although we're both against the Immortal Master,
I'm doing you a favor after all.
But you only give me
a small bottle of medicine every time,
it makes me feel a little...
Don't worry.
I'll make it worth your while.
You don't want me
to give your merman a hard time
after everything's settled, right?
You're insightful, Your Majesty.
But I might want to ask you for more.
Please do.
In this Cong Ji Jail,
many immortals have been punished
more than they deserved.
Those who should have been released are still being held.
I want to plead for your help on their behalf.
Please release them.
This isn't a small request.
I know I've got a little greedy.
You agreed?
Immortal Master's performed forbidden magic,
but we haven't found the proof.
But it was true that the guilty fairy vanished for good.
More and more people have becoming fragile for no reason.
It's worth attention.
As the king, I have my own difficulties.
You'll have to release them in secret.
This token can help you.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
There's one more thing.
Please promise me
not to hurt my sister.
Your Majesty,
I'm not that kindhearted.
I can't return good for evil.
At best, I can promise you
I won't harm her
before she gives me trouble.
Okay, it's a deal.
Have you ever thought about
our loved ones
could also be a horrendous ordeal for us?
Success or failure
doesn't necessarily depend on us.
What's your point?
Nothing.
It's just some of my random thoughts.
If we can't change those people for all our life,
should we persist or let it go?
There's a jar of wine here.
No wonder I smelled alcohol.
My spirit stone is saved.
Why is it so cold?
Who left the wine here to freeze it?
He'd be frozen before he could take a sip.
Smells so good.
What's wrong with you?
Why do you steal my wine without warnings?
Don't you know how to be kind to girls?
I left it here to make iced wine.
How hilarious.
No one was here when I came in.
Fine.
If you insist this wine is yours, just call it.
If it answers you, I'll give it to you.
What an unreasonable woman. That's utter nonsense.
This wine is useful to me. I can't let you have it.
Good.
This wine is also useful to me.
I can't let you have it, either.
Why... is the door closed?
Oh, crap.
Master Qing must have set a trap here.
If something happens in the cave, the door will be closed.
I'm afraid it could only be opened from outside.
Then what should we do now?
Say something.
I just don't believe it.
It won't work.
What do you mean?
You're not even helping me.
You inexplicably froze the wine here
and started a fight with me.
Why on earth are you here?
To see someone.
See someone?
I'm also seeing someone here. Who do you want to see?
Who do you want to see?
Well, it's a long story.
Anyway, my master
is imprisoned by the Immortal Master.
I'm looking for helpers.
Is your master surnamed Ji?
How did you know?
You must be Ji Yunhe's attendant.
Yes, yes, I am.
You are...?
I came for Chang Yi.
Chang Yi?
Hasn't he gone to the North Abyss?
So you're also looking for Blue Feather Bird?
Hey.
It was a misunderstanding.
Turns out we're on the same side.
Since you are one of us,
don't just sit here.
Help me open that door.
Who's one of you?
Don't make connections.
I suggest you not reinvent the wheel.
When Li Shu and Xue Sanyue find out,
they'll come to save us.
Xue Sanyue's here, too?
Why didn't you tell me?
I've wasted so much spiritual power.
Li Shu?
Li Shu is also here?
He's still alive!
So he didn't die that day?
Tell me what happened.
You know what?
All the attendants in Flower Valley
are good at playing dead.
Like Siyu and Li Shu.
Do you think I could do the same?
I want to play dead, too.
I'm dead.
Slow down, Xiao Huan.
Put me down!
- Careful.
- Hurry.
Relax, Prince. I'm not tired.
Put me down!
I didn't ask if you were tired.
Now I'm ordering you as the prince to put me down.
Come on.
Relax, Prince.
With us two here,
your karmic debt will definitely be cleared.
Stop it.
There's no place for you to live.
Prince.
We lived in Chongwu Mountain.
This is also a mountain. It's the same.
We're the best at climbing mountains. Don't you think?
Right, right.
Rest assured, Prince. We'll take care of ourselves.
We'll make the wild our home.
Just relax.
Good for you two.
Catch up.
What are you doing?
Keeping myself warm.
Haven't you heard that
people can cuddle for warmth?
Chang Yi cuddled Yunhe once while sleeping,
and Yunhe said it felt warm and safe.
That's how she trained the heart.
It's a sin.
What are you whispering?
Do you feel cold?
I'm freezing, too.
Shall we... cuddle up?
No, thanks.
I'm not Chang Yi.
You and I are different from them.
What's the difference?
They're one man and one woman.
It's the same with us.
Yunhe always tells me she loves Chang Yi.
But what is love?
Is it edible?
Can we trade it for spirit stones?
If love can keep me warm,
I could love you.
If you talk nonsense again,
I'll set your spirit elixir to fire.
I've had enough of it.
I've never seen someone as rigid as you.
This wine is for Master Qing.
You mustn't drink it.
I'm between life and death. Can't you cut me some slack?
It's about a great cause.
No mistakes are allowed.
But you'll freeze to death
before you accomplish the great cause.
For what I believe in,
I'd rather die.
Didn't Ji Yunhe teach you this?
We don't know about beliefs.
Our life is simple.
We only want to save some spirit stones
to purchase an Immortal Island.
Sure enough.
Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
You're both mercenary.
What makes you say that?
Jin Yunhe betrayed Chang Yi
for her own future.
She didn't.
She wanted to let Chang Yi go.
But she tried to kill him.
She had reasons.
Then tell me,
were you on the cliff that day?
Do you know how cruelly
she talked to and treated Chang Yi?
How do you know she won't lie to you?
Though I wasn't there,
I trust her.
I don't want to persuade you.
Forget it. Let's talk about them later.
Now,
could you lend me some of your spiritual power?
What do you want again?
What's it with you?
Wake up.
I'll drink it.
It's a strong wine.
Yunhe taught me it's hard to live.
So each of us has to be responsible for our own lives.
Never mind about the wine.
Life is what matters.
I feel so warm after drinking it.
Do you want to try it, too?
I'll help you.
No way.
Is the wine this strong?
Lucky for you,
you won't feel cold when you're asleep.
You're warm.
So warm.
The warm power
is coming out of your body itself.
Since it's already out,
I may just use it.
If you don't talk, I'll take it as a yes.
So warm.
It feels so warm.
You... you...
Why did you throw me away?
You really don't know how to treat girls tenderly.
I...
It hurts.
W-What did you do to me?
Don't you know what I did to you?
Look.
Delusion.
Delusion, delusion.
It's delusion.
Delusion.
Delusion!
Sanyue.
Oh, no.
There's a trap in Jiuhan Cave.
If Kong Ming is locked inside,
he may not come out alive.
Kong Ming.
Kong Ming.
I'll try if I could open it from the outside.
OK.
Be careful, Sanyue.
Sanyue.
Sanyue, you're amazing.
Commander Xue, there you are.
Luo Jinsang?
Why are you here?
You two are...
Yunhe asked me to come here.
She sent me to look for Master Qing.
Who'd know
I've met this dorky man here?
He tried to steal my wine.
I was locked up here all night because of him.
You're saying
you and Kong Ming were locked up here
alone for a whole night?
Kong Ming?
So your name is Kong Ming.
Don't come close.
You've wasted such a good name.
How rude.
He's so rude.
It's freezing in this cave.
Not to mention one night,
an ordinary attendant
can't even stay here for two hours.
But I think he's getting heated.
Yes, a lot.
I made him drink last night,
and the warm power in his body rose all the way here.
He was burning like a stove.
Enough.
Can't you talk properly?
That's for scolding me.
Last night, you were quite happy.
Why today you become...
Stop it.
I won't.
Well, you threw me away.
What are you laughing at?
You guys also think it's funny how we kept each other warm?
Li Shu.
I have to say
you're so good at playing dead.
We were worried about you for nothing.
So you and Commander Xue
end up being together.
If we could really be together,
that'd be great.
It's been a long time.
My memories has grown dim.
The freckles on your face...
What's wrong with my face?
It's ugly.
You drank the whole jar?
How would Master Qing see me?
You...
It's just a jar of wine.
I drank the wine.
I'll be responsible for it.
Yunhe has taught me this.
Good.
You want to get me drunk
with this empty jar?
Are you kidding me?
It's only a jar of wine.
I could make every dish I've tasted
and every wine I've drunk.
Master, please wait.
Bobcat, make way.
Master.
I don't need to drink it.
Master Qing.
Alcohol reminds me of the past.
The more I drink, the more sober I get.
There's no use in drinking such wine.
You haven't had a sip, how could you know it's useless?
I get it.
Master, you must be scared.
I've never been scared in my life.
Fine.
If your wine could get me drunk,
I'll grant your request and leave this mountain to help you.
But if I wasn't drunk,
you'll be forbidden
to set foot on Le You Mountain ever again.
Master, please think twice.
It's a deal.
You!
Alright.
Sanyue, I've cleaned it.
This...
Mr. Kong Ming.
Well,
are you still thinking about last night?
Don't talk nonsense.
They've been drinking for a long while.
Can we count on Luo Jinsang or not?
You know best
whether we can count on her or not.
I only met her yesterday.
How could I know?
She drank a whole jar with you last night.
If it was only for warmth,
either the wine is bad,
or that Luo Luo can hold liquor.
Sir, which reason do you think it is?
You think everyone is as gossipy as you?
What we should be thinking about right now
is if we fail,
how will we persuade Master Qing.
Luo Jinsang seems ditzy,
but she learned from Ji Yunhe.
Among the four of us, she might stand the best chance of winning.
Then let's wait and see
what tricks she has up her sleeve.
Little girl.
You're losing.
The wine can't get people drunk,
nor can it drown sorrows.
Wait.
There's something else
in the last bowl.
Fermented sweet rice?
Do you honestly believe this sweet thing
can make me drunk?
Yunhe said this is what works.
She doesn't know wine.
It's you who don't know wine.
As an alcoholic,
you have been wasting wine all the time.
How did I waste wine?
I made the wines
with the spirits of grains, flowers and grass.
You just drank it to comfort yourself,
it's surely a waste.
Every time Yunhe drank wine,
she would finish the last bowl
with fermented sweet rice in it.
She said,
it could give her strength
when she got sober.
She could say the words
she had been longing to say,
and do the things she had been longing to do.
That's how you should forget the sorrows.
You little girl
drank this whole jar alone last night.
What did you get to teach me a lesson?
Anyway, the thing I did
kept me warm.
We're getting off track.
In my heart,
I've already made a decision.
Whether you agree to help or not,
I'll save my friend, whatever it costs.
If we can't stay true to ourselves and do what we want,
what's the point of being alive?
I've been living a befuddled life,
what have I done?
I profess to be a free spirit,
but in the end,
I'm not even as sensible as a young girl.
Girl,
the world is boring.
But your wine is interesting.
Ji Yunhe has taught you well.
Of course.
Tell them I'll leave tomorrow.
Really?
Thank you, Master.
How was your talk with Master Qing?
She... she agreed!
I told you.
Maybe she could persuade Master.
Is it what you said?
I believe in everything you say.
Whoever said it is the same.
Are you alright?
I'm not, actually.
I drank too much. My head hurts.
Luo Jinsang, where are you going?
Why does she look whiter now?
Will something happen to her?
Who is this?
So pretty.
Could you be Luo Jinsang?
Where are my freckles?
Everything depends on warm power.
I got it.
So that's why Yunhe is drawn to Chang Yi.
Why are you so pretty?
Are you sober now?
About last night,
we should talk.
Kong Ming.
Kong Ming.
Kong Ming.
You're full of vigor.
I really admire you.
It's fate that we met.
This time, could you share with me some of your spiritual power?
And could you use some more time?
More time.
Luo Jinsang.
Don't make such kind of jokes again.
I'm not joking.
I'm very serious.
Look at me.
I'm serious.
Ji Yunhe's attendant is quite blunt.
Fine, fine.
Just take what happened last night as a misunderstanding.
A misunderstanding.
We should go our separate ways.
How could I take it as a misunderstanding?
I, Luo Jinsang,
can't just take advantage of you.
I'll be responsible for you.
Listen to me.
I have lots of spirit stones.
When we could live on the Immortal Island,
I'd treat you to all the delicacies.
Am I nice to you?
Yes, you are.
You're very nice.
But Luo Jinsang, could you stand on your own now?
No.
Looks like Mr. Kong Ming has been taken advantage of.
Luo Jinsang, if you're still like this,
I'm gonna throw you away again.
You won't.
You are just as stubborn as a mule,
who won't admit your feelings.
Should we help him or not?
Luo Jinsang.
I'm here.
You said Ji Yunhe is still being trapped in Lu Tai Mountain.
Master Qing is now leaving here to deal with the Immortal Master.
Do you want to go to save her with me?
That's what I came for.
I do, I do.
I'll go with you.
Let's go.
Sanyue. I'm going with you.
You'd better follow Master Qing.
But I want to...
Sanyue still won't open her heart to me.
We're both adult men,
why are we disturbed by the girls
and can do nothing about it?
What a shame.
Don't talk nonsense here.
After Master Qing wakes up,
we'll set off immediately and return to Lingshuang Pavilion.
We'll join you.
Right, right.
Don't even bother.
If we're all gone, who'll guard Le You Mountain?
If I come back and see a speck of dust,
I'll mop the floor with your bodies.
I...
Moreover, no more eavesdropping.
This book tells some fascinating anecdotes.
Look at this.
In a wealthy family, the master and the hostess
were both killed in one night.
It's said they look peaceful
as if they were sleeping.
The local people thought
it was the evil spirit who did this.
But the writer later found out after investigation
that they used charcoal in the room which blocked the ventilation
and resulted in this tragedy.
The writer called it charcoal poison.
People make up evil spirits
to explain what they don't know
and to ease up their discomfort.
It's rare to have someone
willing to find out the truth
and made a book out of it.
Sadly, not many people stuck to the last page.
She wouldn't let go.
She?
Now the North Abyss is prospering under your leadership
and tens of thousands of immortals
have taken refuge in here.
It's like a large army.
I've been trapped in No Desire Cave for many years.
I'm already in a delicate state of health.
Prince Chang Yi is credited
with creating the prosperity here.
I'm flattered.
Just accept his praises.
Let's cut to the chase.
You went through all the trouble
to have invited me over,
what's your plan?
We can split into three teams.
The first team goes with you
to lure Immortal Master out of Lu Tai Mountain,
and stall him as long as you can.
The second team
stays in the North Abyss and take Mr. Kong
Ming as the leader for reinforcements.
The third team
goes to the south with me
to Immortal Master's Mansion and save
all the innocent immortals being trapped.
Chang Yi.
What a bad plan you proposed.
If we're gonna fight,
we shall unite and work together.
Though now the number of us is growing,
half of them traveled a long way here.
They're sickly and need rest.
Not all of them can go with us.
Besides,
Fairy Shunde has been coveting at the North Abyss.
If all of us leave here and no one stays,
we probably will get attacked.
If we're not careful enough,
North Abyss will fall into her hands again.
Fine.
Then you stay here. I'll go to Immortal Master's Mansion.
I have to go to Immortal Master's Mansion.
Why?
Because I'm capable.
Qifeng,
don't argue with Chang Yi.
Chang Yi.
It will be a dangerous journey.
In order to show support, I will go with you.
Thank you, Fox King.
Fox King.
I've been to Lu Tai Mountain
and know the terrain there very well.
I'm hoping you agree that
when we get there, we'll do what I planned.
OK.
You're the commander of the North Abyss.
We should do as you planned.
I wonder how it went.
How did it go?
Master Qing has promised to help us.
I'll set off with the army shortly.
Alright.
After talking about business,
let's have a private chat.
Since we parted at the Flower Valley,
I've been missing you.
Did you shed some tears
when you heard of my death?
I didn't.
Stubborn.
It's good that we could meet again.
OK. I'm going to Lu Tai with you.
As you like.
Right, Chang Yi.
I have a token.
When you see Ji Chengyu, you can show it to him,
so that he won't give you a hard time.
It'll be good to suffer less on the road.
Thanks.
Prince Chang Yi.
You're quite occupied.
Good luck with that.
Let's go.
OK.
Prince Chang Yi, you insisted on going to Lu Tai Mountain.
Except for rescuing the immortals,
is there anything else you want to do?
Young Lord, you're overthinking.
I can see it in your eyes
that something's up with you.
Do you have someone on your mind?
You can tell me
so we'll work together on it.
Thank you, Young Lord.
I greatly appreciate it.
You'll be helping me
by taking care of the Fox King
and holding the army together.

The Blue Whisper
Episode 21
Flower Valley.
Sanyue.
You do care about me.
Cut the crap.
A beauty came to the rescue.
You're Xue Sanyue from Flower Valley?
So you're one of our own.
I heard after the Ten Directions Formation Incident,
Commander Xue had been taken away
by Master Qing.
Since you're here,
I guess I came to the right place.
May I ask where's Master Qing?
Who are you?
Why do you look for her?
I'm Kong Ming.
Under the order of Prince Chang Yi
and the Fox King Qingxuan,
I came to invite Master Qing
to go to the North Abyss and help us.
Chang Yi?
You mean that dorky fish?
He's in North Abyss.
Then what about Ji Yunhe?
It's a long story.
What an intense story.
It's just
I don't understand
what they're talking about.
Just listen.
Impossible.
Ji Yunhe is never the type to be unfaithful.
But it's what happened.
She lied to Chang Yi
and even wanted to kill him.
Why should I believe you?
If you dare to talk nonsense again,
I'll take your life.
Sanyue.
Calm down.
Master Qing likes to be quiet,
and hates to be disturbed,
especially by the spiritual masters.
He came empty-handed,
I believe someone will take his life.
I...
should have prepared something.
It won't work.
Master Qing loves wine.
If you could prepare some good wine,
and freeze it at Jiuhan Cave for one night,
she might consider doing you a favor.
But...
I don't think you can stay a night
in the chilly Jiuhan Cave.
You'd better go home early.
Thanks.
Why did you help him?
There may be a misunderstanding
between Yunhe and Chang Yi.
And he isn't evil.
I trust him.
Sanyue.
They're gone.
Sanyue, listen.
First, he has high spiritual power,
even among one of the best,
but is plainly dressed.
Second, he looks rough,
and I smelled herbs on him,
so I can infer he works with herbs all the time.
He must be the legendary Kong Ming
who betrayed Immortal Master's Mansion.
Besides,
everything he said about Chang Yi is true.
Say no more.
I'll get to the bottom
of what happened to Yunhe.
Sanyue.
Sanyue.
You just saved me.
Is it because you don't want me to leave?
I...
I just don't want people
to touch my stuff.
Your stuff?
Sanyue.
Are you willing to take me now?
Sanyue.
Prince.
- Alright, alright.
- It's getting late.
- We should go back.
- Forget about whose stuff it is.
All the stuff in Chongwu Mountain is yours.
Right, right, let's leave.
Go, go, go.
You don't understand.
She's my karma.
Karma?
If I don't conquer her,
I can't complete my cultivation,
The prosperity of our clan will be ruined,
and my reputation will be tainted.
It's not that I want to stay.
It's the mandate of heaven.
I have no choice but to stay here.
So Da Huan and Xiao Huan,
you guys go back first.
After I clear my karmic debt,
I'll return to Chongwu Mountain.
Da Huan, get him off me.
We're not leaving without you.
We'll help you to clear your karmic debt.
Right, right.
I can do it on my own.
I can do it.
Prince, don't treat us as outsiders.
Yes.
Xiao Huan, carry him away.
You're welcome.
Let's go.
No, no, no.
Go.
Wait, wait, wait.
Go, go, go.
Put me down.
Go.
Prince.
Perfect timing.
Young Lord Qingyao
specially prepared these dishes for you.
Try this one first.
Sweet potatoes in ginger syrup.
It can take the chill off you.
Sweet potatoes?
P-Prince, well,
it doesn't suit your taste?
If I want to take the chill off,
I could just practice more.
I don't need these things.
Tell Young Lord her good will is appreciated.
This is the medicine.
Bear with it for a while.
When the right time comes,
I'll find an excuse to let you out.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Now that you're here,
let's discuss a few more things.
Go ahead.
Although we're both against the Immortal Master,
I'm doing you a favor after all.
But you only give me
a small bottle of medicine every time,
it makes me feel a little...
Don't worry.
I'll make it worth your while.
You don't want me
to give your merman a hard time
after everything's settled, right?
You're insightful, Your Majesty.
But I might want to ask you for more.
Please do.
In this Cong Ji Jail,
many immortals have been punished
more than they deserved.
Those who should have been released are still being held.
I want to plead for your help on their behalf.
Please release them.
This isn't a small request.
I know I've got a little greedy.
You agreed?
Immortal Master's performed forbidden magic,
but we haven't found the proof.
But it was true that the guilty fairy vanished for good.
More and more people have becoming fragile for no reason.
It's worth attention.
As the king, I have my own difficulties.
You'll have to release them in secret.
This token can help you.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
There's one more thing.
Please promise me
not to hurt my sister.
Your Majesty,
I'm not that kindhearted.
I can't return good for evil.
At best, I can promise you
I won't harm her
before she gives me trouble.
Okay, it's a deal.
Have you ever thought about
our loved ones
could also be a horrendous ordeal for us?
Success or failure
doesn't necessarily depend on us.
What's your point?
Nothing.
It's just some of my random thoughts.
If we can't change those people for all our life,
should we persist or let it go?
There's a jar of wine here.
No wonder I smelled alcohol.
My spirit stone is saved.
Why is it so cold?
Who left the wine here to freeze it?
He'd be frozen before he could take a sip.
Smells so good.
What's wrong with you?
Why do you steal my wine without warnings?
Don't you know how to be kind to girls?
I left it here to make iced wine.
How hilarious.
No one was here when I came in.
Fine.
If you insist this wine is yours, just call it.
If it answers you, I'll give it to you.
What an unreasonable woman. That's utter nonsense.
This wine is useful to me. I can't let you have it.
Good.
This wine is also useful to me.
I can't let you have it, either.
Why... is the door closed?
Oh, crap.
Master Qing must have set a trap here.
If something happens in the cave, the door will be closed.
I'm afraid it could only be opened from outside.
Then what should we do now?
Say something.
I just don't believe it.
It won't work.
What do you mean?
You're not even helping me.
You inexplicably froze the wine here
and started a fight with me.
Why on earth are you here?
To see someone.
See someone?
I'm also seeing someone here. Who do you want to see?
Who do you want to see?
Well, it's a long story.
Anyway, my master
is imprisoned by the Immortal Master.
I'm looking for helpers.
Is your master surnamed Ji?
How did you know?
You must be Ji Yunhe's attendant.
Yes, yes, I am.
You are...?
I came for Chang Yi.
Chang Yi?
Hasn't he gone to the North Abyss?
So you're also looking for Blue Feather Bird?
Hey.
It was a misunderstanding.
Turns out we're on the same side.
Since you are one of us,
don't just sit here.
Help me open that door.
Who's one of you?
Don't make connections.
I suggest you not reinvent the wheel.
When Li Shu and Xue Sanyue find out,
they'll come to save us.
Xue Sanyue's here, too?
Why didn't you tell me?
I've wasted so much spiritual power.
Li Shu?
Li Shu is also here?
He's still alive!
So he didn't die that day?
Tell me what happened.
You know what?
All the attendants in Flower Valley
are good at playing dead.
Like Siyu and Li Shu.
Do you think I could do the same?
I want to play dead, too.
I'm dead.
Slow down, Xiao Huan.
Put me down!
- Careful.
- Hurry.
Relax, Prince. I'm not tired.
Put me down!
I didn't ask if you were tired.
Now I'm ordering you as the prince to put me down.
Come on.
Relax, Prince.
With us two here,
your karmic debt will definitely be cleared.
Stop it.
There's no place for you to live.
Prince.
We lived in Chongwu Mountain.
This is also a mountain. It's the same.
We're the best at climbing mountains. Don't you think?
Right, right.
Rest assured, Prince. We'll take care of ourselves.
We'll make the wild our home.
Just relax.
Good for you two.
Catch up.
What are you doing?
Keeping myself warm.
Haven't you heard that
people can cuddle for warmth?
Chang Yi cuddled Yunhe once while sleeping,
and Yunhe said it felt warm and safe.
That's how she trained the heart.
It's a sin.
What are you whispering?
Do you feel cold?
I'm freezing, too.
Shall we... cuddle up?
No, thanks.
I'm not Chang Yi.
You and I are different from them.
What's the difference?
They're one man and one woman.
It's the same with us.
Yunhe always tells me she loves Chang Yi.
But what is love?
Is it edible?
Can we trade it for spirit stones?
If love can keep me warm,
I could love you.
If you talk nonsense again,
I'll set your spirit elixir to fire.
I've had enough of it.
I've never seen someone as rigid as you.
This wine is for Master Qing.
You mustn't drink it.
I'm between life and death. Can't you cut me some slack?
It's about a great cause.
No mistakes are allowed.
But you'll freeze to death
before you accomplish the great cause.
For what I believe in,
I'd rather die.
Didn't Ji Yunhe teach you this?
We don't know about beliefs.
Our life is simple.
We only want to save some spirit stones
to purchase an Immortal Island.
Sure enough.
Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
You're both mercenary.
What makes you say that?
Jin Yunhe betrayed Chang Yi
for her own future.
She didn't.
She wanted to let Chang Yi go.
But she tried to kill him.
She had reasons.
Then tell me,
were you on the cliff that day?
Do you know how cruelly
she talked to and treated Chang Yi?
How do you know she won't lie to you?
Though I wasn't there,
I trust her.
I don't want to persuade you.
Forget it. Let's talk about them later.
Now,
could you lend me some of your spiritual power?
What do you want again?
What's it with you?
Wake up.
I'll drink it.
It's a strong wine.
Yunhe taught me it's hard to live.
So each of us has to be responsible for our own lives.
Never mind about the wine.
Life is what matters.
I feel so warm after drinking it.
Do you want to try it, too?
I'll help you.
No way.
Is the wine this strong?
Lucky for you,
you won't feel cold when you're asleep.
You're warm.
So warm.
The warm power
is coming out of your body itself.
Since it's already out,
I may just use it.
If you don't talk, I'll take it as a yes.
So warm.
It feels so warm.
You... you...
Why did you throw me away?
You really don't know how to treat girls tenderly.
I...
It hurts.
W-What did you do to me?
Don't you know what I did to you?
Look.
Delusion.
Delusion, delusion.
It's delusion.
Delusion.
Delusion!
Sanyue.
Oh, no.
There's a trap in Jiuhan Cave.
If Kong Ming is locked inside,
he may not come out alive.
Kong Ming.
Kong Ming.
I'll try if I could open it from the outside.
OK.
Be careful, Sanyue.
Sanyue.
Sanyue, you're amazing.
Commander Xue, there you are.
Luo Jinsang?
Why are you here?
You two are...
Yunhe asked me to come here.
She sent me to look for Master Qing.
Who'd know
I've met this dorky man here?
He tried to steal my wine.
I was locked up here all night because of him.
You're saying
you and Kong Ming were locked up here
alone for a whole night?
Kong Ming?
So your name is Kong Ming.
Don't come close.
You've wasted such a good name.
How rude.
He's so rude.
It's freezing in this cave.
Not to mention one night,
an ordinary attendant
can't even stay here for two hours.
But I think he's getting heated.
Yes, a lot.
I made him drink last night,
and the warm power in his body rose all the way here.
He was burning like a stove.
Enough.
Can't you talk properly?
That's for scolding me.
Last night, you were quite happy.
Why today you become...
Stop it.
I won't.
Well, you threw me away.
What are you laughing at?
You guys also think it's funny how we kept each other warm?
Li Shu.
I have to say
you're so good at playing dead.
We were worried about you for nothing.
So you and Commander Xue
end up being together.
If we could really be together,
that'd be great.
It's been a long time.
My memories has grown dim.
The freckles on your face...
What's wrong with my face?
It's ugly.
You drank the whole jar?
How would Master Qing see me?
You...
It's just a jar of wine.
I drank the wine.
I'll be responsible for it.
Yunhe has taught me this.
Good.
You want to get me drunk
with this empty jar?
Are you kidding me?
It's only a jar of wine.
I could make every dish I've tasted
and every wine I've drunk.
Master, please wait.
Bobcat, make way.
Master.
I don't need to drink it.
Master Qing.
Alcohol reminds me of the past.
The more I drink, the more sober I get.
There's no use in drinking such wine.
You haven't had a sip, how could you know it's useless?
I get it.
Master, you must be scared.
I've never been scared in my life.
Fine.
If your wine could get me drunk,
I'll grant your request and leave this mountain to help you.
But if I wasn't drunk,
you'll be forbidden
to set foot on Le You Mountain ever again.
Master, please think twice.
It's a deal.
You!
Alright.
Sanyue, I've cleaned it.
This...
Mr. Kong Ming.
Well,
are you still thinking about last night?
Don't talk nonsense.
They've been drinking for a long while.
Can we count on Luo Jinsang or not?
You know best
whether we can count on her or not.
I only met her yesterday.
How could I know?
She drank a whole jar with you last night.
If it was only for warmth,
either the wine is bad,
or that Luo Luo can hold liquor.
Sir, which reason do you think it is?
You think everyone is as gossipy as you?
What we should be thinking about right now
is if we fail,
how will we persuade Master Qing.
Luo Jinsang seems ditzy,
but she learned from Ji Yunhe.
Among the four of us, she might stand the best chance of winning.
Then let's wait and see
what tricks she has up her sleeve.
Little girl.
You're losing.
The wine can't get people drunk,
nor can it drown sorrows.
Wait.
There's something else
in the last bowl.
Fermented sweet rice?
Do you honestly believe this sweet thing
can make me drunk?
Yunhe said this is what works.
She doesn't know wine.
It's you who don't know wine.
As an alcoholic,
you have been wasting wine all the time.
How did I waste wine?
I made the wines
with the spirits of grains, flowers and grass.
You just drank it to comfort yourself,
it's surely a waste.
Every time Yunhe drank wine,
she would finish the last bowl
with fermented sweet rice in it.
She said,
it could give her strength
when she got sober.
She could say the words
she had been longing to say,
and do the things she had been longing to do.
That's how you should forget the sorrows.
You little girl
drank this whole jar alone last night.
What did you get to teach me a lesson?
Anyway, the thing I did
kept me warm.
We're getting off track.
In my heart,
I've already made a decision.
Whether you agree to help or not,
I'll save my friend, whatever it costs.
If we can't stay true to ourselves and do what we want,
what's the point of being alive?
I've been living a befuddled life,
what have I done?
I profess to be a free spirit,
but in the end,
I'm not even as sensible as a young girl.
Girl,
the world is boring.
But your wine is interesting.
Ji Yunhe has taught you well.
Of course.
Tell them I'll leave tomorrow.
Really?
Thank you, Master.
How was your talk with Master Qing?
She... she agreed!
I told you.
Maybe she could persuade Master.
Is it what you said?
I believe in everything you say.
Whoever said it is the same.
Are you alright?
I'm not, actually.
I drank too much. My head hurts.
Luo Jinsang, where are you going?
Why does she look whiter now?
Will something happen to her?
Who is this?
So pretty.
Could you be Luo Jinsang?
Where are my freckles?
Everything depends on warm power.
I got it.
So that's why Yunhe is drawn to Chang Yi.
Why are you so pretty?
Are you sober now?
About last night,
we should talk.
Kong Ming.
Kong Ming.
Kong Ming.
You're full of vigor.
I really admire you.
It's fate that we met.
This time, could you share with me some of your spiritual power?
And could you use some more time?
More time.
Luo Jinsang.
Don't make such kind of jokes again.
I'm not joking.
I'm very serious.
Look at me.
I'm serious.
Ji Yunhe's attendant is quite blunt.
Fine, fine.
Just take what happened last night as a misunderstanding.
A misunderstanding.
We should go our separate ways.
How could I take it as a misunderstanding?
I, Luo Jinsang,
can't just take advantage of you.
I'll be responsible for you.
Listen to me.
I have lots of spirit stones.
When we could live on the Immortal Island,
I'd treat you to all the delicacies.
Am I nice to you?
Yes, you are.
You're very nice.
But Luo Jinsang, could you stand on your own now?
No.
Looks like Mr. Kong Ming has been taken advantage of.
Luo Jinsang, if you're still like this,
I'm gonna throw you away again.
You won't.
You are just as stubborn as a mule,
who won't admit your feelings.
Should we help him or not?
Luo Jinsang.
I'm here.
You said Ji Yunhe is still being trapped in Lu Tai Mountain.
Master Qing is now leaving here to deal with the Immortal Master.
Do you want to go to save her with me?
That's what I came for.
I do, I do.
I'll go with you.
Let's go.
Sanyue. I'm going with you.
You'd better follow Master Qing.
But I want to...
Sanyue still won't open her heart to me.
We're both adult men,
why are we disturbed by the girls
and can do nothing about it?
What a shame.
Don't talk nonsense here.
After Master Qing wakes up,
we'll set off immediately and return to Lingshuang Pavilion.
We'll join you.
Right, right.
Don't even bother.
If we're all gone, who'll guard Le You Mountain?
If I come back and see a speck of dust,
I'll mop the floor with your bodies.
I...
Moreover, no more eavesdropping.
This book tells some fascinating anecdotes.
Look at this.
In a wealthy family, the master and the hostess
were both killed in one night.
It's said they look peaceful
as if they were sleeping.
The local people thought
it was the evil spirit who did this.
But the writer later found out after investigation
that they used charcoal in the room which blocked the ventilation
and resulted in this tragedy.
The writer called it charcoal poison.
People make up evil spirits
to explain what they don't know
and to ease up their discomfort.
It's rare to have someone
willing to find out the truth
and made a book out of it.
Sadly, not many people stuck to the last page.
She wouldn't let go.
She?
Now the North Abyss is prospering under your leadership
and tens of thousands of immortals
have taken refuge in here.
It's like a large army.
I've been trapped in No Desire Cave for many years.
I'm already in a delicate state of health.
Prince Chang Yi is credited
with creating the prosperity here.
I'm flattered.
Just accept his praises.
Let's cut to the chase.
You went through all the trouble
to have invited me over,
what's your plan?
We can split into three teams.
The first team goes with you
to lure Immortal Master out of Lu Tai Mountain,
and stall him as long as you can.
The second team
stays in the North Abyss and take Mr. Kong
Ming as the leader for reinforcements.
The third team
goes to the south with me
to Immortal Master's Mansion and save
all the innocent immortals being trapped.
Chang Yi.
What a bad plan you proposed.
If we're gonna fight,
we shall unite and work together.
Though now the number of us is growing,
half of them traveled a long way here.
They're sickly and need rest.
Not all of them can go with us.
Besides,
Fairy Shunde has been coveting at the North Abyss.
If all of us leave here and no one stays,
we probably will get attacked.
If we're not careful enough,
North Abyss will fall into her hands again.
Fine.
Then you stay here. I'll go to Immortal Master's Mansion.
I have to go to Immortal Master's Mansion.
Why?
Because I'm capable.
Qifeng,
don't argue with Chang Yi.
Chang Yi.
It will be a dangerous journey.
In order to show support, I will go with you.
Thank you, Fox King.
Fox King.
I've been to Lu Tai Mountain
and know the terrain there very well.
I'm hoping you agree that
when we get there, we'll do what I planned.
OK.
You're the commander of the North Abyss.
We should do as you planned.
I wonder how it went.
How did it go?
Master Qing has promised to help us.
I'll set off with the army shortly.
Alright.
After talking about business,
let's have a private chat.
Since we parted at the Flower Valley,
I've been missing you.
Did you shed some tears
when you heard of my death?
I didn't.
Stubborn.
It's good that we could meet again.
OK. I'm going to Lu Tai with you.
As you like.
Right, Chang Yi.
I have a token.
When you see Ji Chengyu, you can show it to him,
so that he won't give you a hard time.
It'll be good to suffer less on the road.
Thanks.
Prince Chang Yi.
You're quite occupied.
Good luck with that.
Let's go.
OK.
Prince Chang Yi, you insisted on going to Lu Tai Mountain.
Except for rescuing the immortals,
is there anything else you want to do?
Young Lord, you're overthinking.
I can see it in your eyes
that something's up with you.
Do you have someone on your mind?
You can tell me
so we'll work together on it.
Thank you, Young Lord.
I greatly appreciate it.
You'll be helping me
by taking care of the Fox King
and holding the army together.
